As president of the Tri-Township Fair Association, I wish to thank ever member of the various committees who worked hard and faithfully to make the Mimosa Fair the success it was and deserved to be; the residents of the community who went to great expense and trouble to stage exhibits; the donor of the grounds and casino, Bill Stearns; the other executive officers, Mr. Stearns and Miss Flentye who able supported the plan; Mr. Sams and Mrs. Paggett Smith, whose influence among the farmers of the county had much to do with the splendid attendance and the Polk County News which through its columns kept the people of the section posted on the plans as they developed and did much to advertise it. One and all, they deserve especial commendation, which I am indeed glad to give.
--Charles J. Lynch
